what I learned from U.S. trip. Lesson 01

I had been long time that I didn't upload my blog.

Actually it means the life I spent at SJ is way much better that I used to be.

I feel so good when I stay here but I think there's a reason why I felt like this.

It is I lived at SF before so I got life to compare with.

This is not complain about life in SF, only feel so grateful to my lord.

Specially I had friends like Karen and Calvin who treat me like part of their family.

During that time they helped me a lots to pass through painful moment.

Truly thank you. My dear friends.

I tried to record my thought here. Because I found myself keep saying that what I learned from this trip is?....

So I thought maybe I really learned something here.  

I used to be afraid that to look back of my experience at here.

I am afraid that I learned nothing about design or how to do good design.

I start realizing that it is not only one way to persuade what I want or what I thought.

It was too limited that the way I think about design.

So there you go, you can see that I try to record here, my blog.

Somehow you really want to do it, it goes away. You need to catch them as the time you think about it.

There is a good movie which is called "short bus".In mandarin if I translated it directly it will become sex bus.

So when I first time saw this movie that I thought it was an adult movie which I was wrong.

It was a movie that you can see a lots of naked people and make love in it.

It's true. But like film review said after watching it, all sex scene were gone. 

So what I feel after saw this movie? What I left in my mind about it?

Now I had to agree with the film review.

what left in my mind about it which is distance between people.

And why it has any connection between what I learned here and movie?

It is distance. It is that we shared some fears with people who we fear. 

When I stay in Taiwan, I loved reading stuff about design.

About how they make such beautiful design.

I pretty know every famous designers and design firm, about their design and some stories.

Sometimes I believed in Magazines or books too much or enjoyed what they did too much.

It appears that they really had a high level position in my heart.

Like a design idol. 

After I got here, I met many people and some of them are really famous not only in U.S. but also in other countries.

Like dodge-ball game, I saw Yevs Behar there. 

He is a quite normal guy who stood in front of me and waited  in a line to get a drink.   

Yesterday's party, I met Dan Harden who is the founder of Whipsaw design Inc. and pre design director of frog.

We chatted with him like one hour.

We talked about every thing from culture to travel. 

I really enjoy it.

Suddenly I realize that they are not idol for me anymore.

More like a live people or a friend of mine.

We had same cares and same dreams that is what I want to said here, in this article.

So that's it. that is what I learned here. And it is the first lesson.

Thank you again my Jesus that you arranged this chance for me.

And you know me more then myself that you prepared this route.

Let me go through it. I learned more then if you put me at here in very first time.

Thank you for everything. I am happy now.
